Origin: German

Meaning: Famous wolf

A variant of Rudolf, Rudey is a masculine name of German origin. Although already quite a notable famous reindeer of the red-nose variety, Rudolf and Rudey are flipping the script to each become a "famous wolf." Children may one day sing, "Rudey, the not-so-red-nosed wolf, hadn't a very shiny nose," but it will take some getting used to. Perhaps a wolf will someday guide Santa and his sleigh*—*they fly as well as deer, but for now, baby Rudey will guide yours.
